Providence, Santiago

The Great BZWZ is in Providence looking for an apartment to rent for next year. From the phone call the Plotniks received yesterday, the process is a lot more civilized in Providence, Rhode Island, than New York City, New York. And cheaper. And guess what: she says the area around Brown University looks a lot like Saint Plotniko.

It's still a galaxy far, far away. But maybe not really all that far. Southwest flies directly into Providence from Saint Plotniko International (SPO). That's easier right there than flying to the Shmapple.

Meanwhile, it turns out that Plot and Duck can get all the way to Santiago, Chile, using the last of their Delta miles. But they have to go in October. Hmmmm. That's 'way ahead of plans, but, on the other hand, why not? Got to think about this soon while there are a few free tickets left. There are none left from October through next April.
